2 ARMORED TEXTILES, INC More Than 45 Years of Hose Know-How A Proven History of Hose Quality and Durability Located in Peterborough, New Hampshire, Armored Textiles, Inc. (ATI) is comprised of two distinct divisions: Municipal and Industrial. The Municipal Division supplies fire hose to municipal fire departments throughout the U. S. and Canada, while the Industrial Division includes product lines for agricultural and industrial applications. In 2001, ATI purchased the fire hose lines of thirtyfive year old Jaffrey Fire Protection, which pioneered the use of LDH (large diameter hose) and developed innovative water supply methodologies for fighting fires in rural environments. ATI s municipal product line includes nitrile rubber hose in diameters ranging from one and one half to six, and doublejacket hose from one inch to five. All fire hose and fittings conform to NFPA standards, and carry a 10-year non pro-rated warranty. ATI s Industrial Division, also headquartered in Peterborough, serves customers in a wide variety of markets, providing hose for use in sludge, wastewater, irrigation supply, construction, and drainage applications. ATI s industrial hoses carry a 5-year pro-rated warranty.

3 JAFX4 1" to 5" JAFX4 Hose: Unique 4-layer rubber hose made with an extruded outer layer of proprietary super-tough RLH synthetic rubber compound, making this hose highly resistant to flame, heat, abrasion, and chemicals. NFPA 1961 Standard on Fire Hose (2013 edition). Unique One-Piece Construction: ATI s revolutionary co-extrusion technology creates a Four Layer Hose In One Operation without the use of glues or adhesives thereby forming a homogeneous hose which cannot delaminate. 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn is circular woven and completely protected and locked-in by tough highly resistant synthetic rubber. World s TOUGHEST Best Abrasion Protection: Fire Hose The fourth layer of proprietary RLH rubber compound is super resistant to abrasion so much so that you can drag it through the hot desert sand to put out oil well fires, day after day. (Yes, we ve done that). Exclusively from ATI Resists Burn-through: Unique outer layer rubber compound makes this hose more resistant to heat, flames and burn-through than traditional double jacket hose. Super Durable: Excellent resistance to heat, ozone, weather, most chemicals (acids, bases, salts, oils, solvents, etc.), flame, wear, tear and puncture. Great Flow and Kinking Resistance Highly flexible and smooth inner lining provides excellent dilation characteristics with low friction loss and high kinking resistance.

11 Characteristics Of Lay-Flat Fire Hose There are a number of performance values that should be taken into account when assessing or comparing hoses. Many of these values are stipulated by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Other parameters should also be considered in the evaluation process. Abrasion Resistance The higher the abrasion resistance, the longer the hose will last when used on rough surfaces. If abrasion resistance is low, the hose jacket will wear through quickly, damaging the textile and leading to premature hose failure. Adhesion Between Layers How well the hose layers adhere to each other is directly proportional to the useful life of the hose. A high level of adhesion prevents delaminating from occurring. When a hose delaminates, the hose layers separate, compromising the integrity of the hose. On occasion, a hose lining can be drawn into the pump, causing serious damage. Bend Radius A low value of bend radius at both working and low pressures will yield a more flexible and maneuverable hose, minimizing the possibility of the hose kinking. In general, the higher the pressure in the hose, the better the bend radius performance. A high-quality hose will have good bend radius performance at working pressure as well as at low pressures. Chemical Resistance Good resistance to aggressive chemical/hydrocarbon products, which fire hose may come into contact with, must be ensured. Resistance is provided by the properties of the cover and lining polymer and the textile reinforcement. Details on chemical resistance of the hose cover and lining materials can be provided by the hose manufacturer. Friction Loss Friction loss is a drop in pressure due to turbulence created on the inner walls, and therefore the volume of water being moved through the hose. Several factors come into play when determining friction loss: Length of hose: the longer the hose, the greater the potential for friction loss Diameter of hose: the larger the diameter, the lower the friction loss Hose lining: a hose with a smooth lining will have lower friction loss than a hose with an uneven lining Hose dilation: Increased pressure swells hose to large inner diameter, reducing friction loss. A quality fire hose will have a smooth, even hose lining, ensuring minimal flow resistance. Handling While low weight and small coil diameter are desirable features of a fire hose, there must be a balance to ensure optimal performance and safety. Simply reducing hose weight and thickness will reduce performance in other areas. Heat, Temperature and Ozone Resistance Heat resistance and resistance to high and low temperatures are critical elements in fire hoses. Hoses used in extreme heat and cold must be capable of resisting these conditions. The hose should also be able to resist contact with burning embers. Ozone resistance is important because hoses with poor resistance will become brittle, and the cover and lining will fail. Strong heat, temperature and ozone resistance will ensure a long life for the hose. Hose and Coupling Assembly Safety The hose itself and coupling assembly comprise a firefighting hose. The couplings must be attached at a higher pressure than the hose is rated. Abrupt valve opening and closing can cause water hammer, which greatly increases the load on the hose and couplings. In the event of a catastrophic failure, the hose should always burst along its length, known as the weft. A hose should never burst into two pieces. For this reason the hose is designed with more strength in the longitudinal direction. Kink Resistance When a hose kinks, three things happen. The flow through the hose is reduced; a protrusion forms at the point of the kink, making it vulnerable to abrasion; and the burst pressure is reduced. Therefore, it is very important that the hose design minimizes the ability of the hose to kink. Swell and Elongation Hose swell is expressed as a percentage, and is the ratio of the diameter measured at two different pressures. As the diameter of the hose increases, pressure loss decreases. As such, hoses with high swell are preferred. Elongation is also expressed as a percentage and is the ratio between the unpressurized hose and the hose at working pressure. Hose elongation is important, because if it is too high, the hose is likely to snake. Warranty The warranty period for fire hose is dependent on the manufacturer. Due to the nature of the fire suppression environment, hose is subjected to extremely rigorous conditions. No hose is fireproof. Typically, hoses are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship. While some hose manufacturers offer only a oneyear warranty, ATI fire hoses carry a ten-year non pro-rated warranty. Weight Hose weight is a direct consequence of the thickness of the hose, which is the sum of the lining, plus reinforcement, plus cover. A high-quality hose will have an abrasion resistant cover that does not depend on thickness. As such, the weight of the hose can be minimized. Working, Test and Burst These terms reflect the safety factors for a hose in use, i.e., under pressure. Fire hoses conform to the following rule: Working : Proof : Kink Burst : Short Length Burst : P 2 x P 2 x P, minimum 3 x P, minimum 11
